Daughter's illness

Dear Gransnetters,

I've been an irregular poster to these forums. I'm in need of help and support now.

My daughter is seriously ill in a hospital in Massachusetts. She has been running a b and b in Maine, which is why she is in the US.

I am at present staying with friends on an island near Vancouver. My plan was to visit my daughter on my way home at the end of December.

I am due to take part in a concert in a few days' time - this might seem irrelevant but it is part of my quandary. I am getting regular emails from my ex (her father) in England. Her husband is visiting her regularly and passing information to my ex, who acts as a hub.

She is having a dialysis catheter put in today. She had a very uncomfortable night with oxygen problems. Her problems are to do with her kidneys and lungs. She's been ill for a couple of months now. I've been sending her daily emails. Suddenly this morning everything seems more serious, and here I am so far away.

I don't know what anyone can do or say really. I feel so desperately worried. My friends here know her and are supportive, which is good.

Thank you for reading this.

Daisy I'm so sorry.

I hope it's a comfort to you that you, her father and husband were at her side.

Maybe sometime in the future it might help you to tell us something about your dear girl flowers

Oh Daisy, I'm so very sorry, and very sad for you. Words and emoticons are not much comfort, I know, but I'm glad you were with her.

My daughter passed peacefully away yesterday morning. Her father, her husband and I were with her for her last hours.

Thank you for your support and concern over the past weeks.
